DYNAMO: Modelling in population dynamics and animal epidemiology

DYNAMO aims to better understand and predict the spread and persistence of pathogens in animal populations, and to identify efficient and targeted control strategies. Such complex biological systems are studied at the within-host, between-host, and metapopulation scales, also using in the latter case trade network data and graph theory. We mainly focus on infectious diseases of cattle and swine, as well as on vector population dynamics.
